What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is fast, I really enjoy being able to execute complex queries in seconds as opposed to waiting for an extended period of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the web UI is a little bit quirky. There's no find and replace in the query workspaces. Nothing major sticks out though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've used Snowflake to build an internal app and support Customer Experience departments with building their part of the business.

Snowflake is super solid

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the freedom that the web UI gives me. I need to work remotely at least once a week and the web UI is much more reliable than any other that I have used. Snowflake is also more stable than previous software I've used.
What do you dislike about the product?
The editor in the web UI is a little feature poor. Things like find and replace and auto-prediction are missing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do mainly data analytics to find and diagnose issues for a call center environment. I have noticed that Snowflake has had a real easy time integrating our old data and any new data that is piped in.

What do you like best about the product?
True cloud warehouse which makes the compute and storage go without limit.
What do you dislike about the product?
Relatively new. It's hard to get all the metadata information
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It really helped with the problems that we faced with traditional databases like Teradata, like expanding the compute and storage.

A great Solution for Data Warehouse

  • March 26, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The computing speed for the queries has been greatly increased. You an make it even more scalable by increasing the size of VM instance. Ideal for warehouse which follows star schema .
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't support stored procedures/ functions. Date operations are pretty complicated and lengthy. The import from CSV doesn't work as well. It requires long process where you have to stage a file to AWS Storage and then only you are allowed to import.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have the Data Warehouse in Snowflake which is the central storage for our business data. The computing is faster allowing large and complex ETLs to execute quickly.

snowflake query analysis , query history metadata & snowflake support

some syntax changes, and the drop downs are some times slow

Recommendations to others considering the product:
improve your performance

Great product

  • March 20, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We needed to migrate from RedShift quickly, and moving to Snowflake was easy. The think I like most is Snowflake's separation of compute and storage, which gives me a huge amount of flexibility when assigning different workloads. I also appreciate the query caching that Snowflake does to decrease my cost and increase the performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't really like about Snowflake is that there is one Identity Provider per account. This means I have to have more accounts than I would normally create, and the accounts cannot share a pool of compute, thus eliminating some of my economy of scale.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a fast, stable, built for cloud Electronic Data Warehouse for our data platform, and Snowflake has fit the bill perfectly. Management of our databases has become an easy activity with Snowflake, as there is very little management overhead compared to similar offerings.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great product. Make sure to calculate your usage and thus gauge pricing effectively.

What do you like best about the product?
Query time is consistent and provides good analyst experience
What do you dislike about the product?
UI needs to improve a bit with better ability to visualize data schema
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Day-to-day data crunching happens in Snowflake. Benefits are querying speed leading to better analyst experience
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understand their architecture in detail to better tap into their full potential. A comparative study with your current system can provide you in-depth understanding of their USP
